v UNITED STATES WILLIAM W. LOWREY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COMBINED BOTTLE-STOPPER AND SPRINKLER.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 636,821, dated November 14, 1899.

Application filed May 6, 1899. Serial No. 715,807. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM IV. LOWREY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, (Stuyvesant Place,) borough of Richmond, State of New York, have invented a new article of manufacture, which I term a Combined Bottle-Stopper and Sprinkler, of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention relates to a new article of manufacture, which I term a combined bottlestopper and sprinkler, composed of fibrous and vitreous material, all of which will be fully described hereinafter.

My invention consists of a combined bottlestopper and sprinkler. The female portion of the article is in this case composed of cork,- having connected therewith a glass sprinkler and a male portion composed of glass to engage with the female portion, all of which will be fully pointed out in the claims and hereinafter described.

Figure 1 represents an elevational view of my combined stopper and sprinkler detached from the bottle. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view of the neck and mouth of a bottle, showing my combined stopper and sprinkler in position. The female portion is shown in section, While the male portion and sprinkler are shown in elevation. Fig. 3 is also a section of the neck and mouth of a bottle having the female portion and sprinkler in position and the male portion detached therefrom. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the sprinkler detached. Figs. 5 and dare detail views showing modifications of the sprinkler.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings, in which- A represents the neck of a bottle, having adjusted in the mouth thereof the combined stopper and sprinkler, composed of the glass male portion B, adapted to engage with the tapering aperture 0 of the externally-tapering-shaped female portion D, the latter composed of cork. The lower portion of the aperture O is provided with the glass sprinkler E, which is in this instance of a cylindrical shape, provided with a series of verticallyarranged grooves F upon its circumference.

Mode of operation: When desirous of sprinkling apartments, cloths, or the bath, the male portion Bis removed and the bottle held in an inverted position, at the same time imparting a jerking motion thereto, which will cause the cologne or other liquid contained in the bottle to depart therefrom in the form of small or fine drops. The quantity to be thus supplied will depend upon the rapidity of movement.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a new article of manufacture the combination of a female portion having a sprinkler provided with two or more perforations connected therewith and a male portion adapted to engage with said female portion substantially as shown and described.

2. In a new article of manufacture, the combination of an externallytapering-shaped cork or female portion having a verticallytapering aperture, the glass sprinkler secured at the base of the latter said sprinkler provided with a series of vertically-arranged grooves on its circumference and the glass stopper or male portion substantially as shown and described.

WILLIAM W. LOWREY.
